He IMO was really unlucky that he came when Arsenal had RVP injury free and on form. When he came he was actually doing well for the team and helping more than Giroud did at the beginning. On top of that he seemed to be a better one two passer too. When RVP came back he lost his place instantly. I feel sad for that, though in the end RVP did great for us, maybe if he had played a little more, his confidence would not have been shattered. If he leaves I wish him success where ever he goes.
